Recto (verso as catalogued): Accounts in Arabic, including the line "[...] that went with the fleet." Verso: Magical instructions in both Judaeo-Arabic and Arabic.

Leaf from a treatise on divination in Judaeo-Arabic. The hand looks pre-1500 (unlike most of the material in the AIU collection).

Bifolium of Judaeo-Arabic poetry. Shows signs of having been bound into a book cover (glue stains, leather).
AIU VI.B.107
Leaf of prognostications based on the timing of earthquakes.
AIU VI.B.108
Original text: (draft of?) Arabic legal document involving a certain Hārūn b. Sulaymān. Needs further examination. Later text: In Judaeo-Arabic, the archaeological secrets revealed by a certain "nāẓir," not explicitly about treasure hunting (like AIU VI.B.99), but with a distinctly esoteric flavor. Mentions al-Mayādīn, the Umayyad Castles, Cairo and Miṣr, Kahf al-Sūdān, Kahf al-ʿAqaba.
AIU VI.B.11
12 pages of a magical treatise, containing spells e.g. for eye pain or for seeing the dead in a dream.

AIU VI.B.111
Page 1: Medical treatise in Judaeo-Arabic giving two prescriptions for pediatric ophthalmia (ramad), the second of which is prefaced, "The doctors in Fusṭāṭ use this. . . " Pages 2–4: Calligraphic and vocalized verses, mostly or all from Psalms.

AIU VI.B.12
Recto: Accounts in Ladino and Hebrew and sums of large numbers, giving the names Ibrahim, Yizhaq, and Yaʿaqov, who seem to be contemporary business associates, but could also be the patriarchs, and all the math on this page could actually be numerology. Then again, the main line of text seems to say: "salió de revaḥ ducados — 76777." Verso: Two pages of a kabbalistic treatise in Hebrew, including a menora made of text.
AIU VI.B.120

AIU VI.B.121
Bifolium from a Hebrew philosophical work extremely similar to, but apparently not identical with, the Guide for the Perplexed. Perhaps a commentary? It compares the visions of Isaiah and Ezekiel (as Maimonides does toward the beginning of Part III), says it will impart only chapter headings, discusses metaphor in the Bible, such as the term "kiss" (as Maimonides does as well).
